Anybody have some use experience with this suppressor? Haven’t seen much on it out here to my knowledge. My MWS has a 16” Chrome Full Profile Barrel with their standard bird cage for info. Tks.

Yet Q is still in business...Same, I think a lot of consumers are wising up and waiting till the results are in.
I mean it is literally 2-3x heavier than competitors which are already extremely durable. Heck even the rugged cans survived belt fed and weigh 1/2 that. I just cannot think of a reason for them to be so damn heavy. Maybe meter numbers will come out and show some amazing results, but I don't think that will be the case.
It is absolutely not to reduce harmonics. Adding weight to the end increases harmonics, bench rest guys have shot big tuners for a long time the idea being not that they an reduce harmonics but to control the predictability of harmonics. As others have noted hanging 5 shake weights off the end of your barrel absolutely will effect shot size. Even just putting a magentospeed which is a strap strap and a piece of rubber on the barrel has noticeable effects on groups at just 100 yards (this is well documented on the internet and hide)Barrel Harmonics - Accuracy, Consistency Changes via Suppressor Weight (LMT VBS)
I have been interested in distance shooting for 20 years. Finally bought an entry level platform to actually practice my marksmanship.
I purchased a 7.62/.308 'LMT MWS MLK Battle Rifle' (13.5" CL barrel with pinned LMT flash hider (OAL-16")) as well as a 6.5 creedmoor 20" 5R SS barrel.
I have been looking into LMT's LLNL VBS suppressor and, like many others who've looked into this product, can't find any real world usage/applications. The only things I can surmise are:
1). Its a heavy can (36-42oz I believe)
2). It supposedly keeps the gun cycling at consistent rate relative to unsuppressed (reduces back-pressure from fancy LLNL engineering)
--------
*What I am wondering is: as a general rule of thumb, does extra weight at the end of [any barrel] aid in accuracy and/or consistency at distance (600-1000yd)? I have heard a little bit about barrel harmonics/nodes et al. but don't claim to be any sort of proficient source - I'm trying to understand why LLNL/LMT would make the VBS can so dang heavy! Then I had this hypothesis that the extra weight could reduce barrel 'whip' and that may be why they produced this beast.
--------
(I understand the VBS's weight was most likely also built to perform for very extended full-auto fire with minimal need to clean and maximized shape retention).
So for all the people that have way more experience/expertise than me I'm wondering if weight at tip of a barrel helps increase accuracy and/or consistency - or am I reaching on that 'hypothesis?'
